Agreed, but that’s not what it says now, is it?

Let's ask the sistersofcarmel.com (emphasis mine).

“This shall be a privilege for you and all Carmelites, that anyone dying in this habit shall not suffer eternal fire.”

No, I believe the scriptures say she found favor in God’s eyes and that takes some one special for any one. She was special.

No more special than any other Christian...

Luk 1:28  And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. 

highly favoured
G5487
χαριτόω
charitoō
khar-ee-to'-o
From G5485; to grace, that is, indue with special honor: - make accepted, be highly favoured.

It was nothing that Mary did...It's what God did...Highly favoured comes from G5485 which is grace...

Mary was the one who was born at the right place at the right time...God imbued her with the grace to be a great devotee of God and acceptable to be the mother of Jesus...And because God chose her, she was blessed because of the grace God gave her...

G5485
grace
charis
khar'-ece
From G5463; graciousness (as gratifying), of manner or act (abstract or concrete; literal, figurative or spiritual; especially the divine influence upon the heart, and its reflection in the life; including gratitude): - acceptable, benefit, favour, gift, grace (-ious), joy liberality, pleasure, thank (-s, -worthy).

Eph 1:2  Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 
Eph 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ
Eph 1:4  According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 
Eph 1:5  Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 
Eph 1:6  To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 
Eph 1:7  In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 

This is the same highly favoured grace God gave to Mary...

Tell me, metmom, where in scripture is it stated that metmom is assured of her salvation?

You phony...You have been shown tons of scripture that proves it...

"What part of “Agreed” didn’t you get?

.......

“WHOSOEVER DIES IN THIS GARMENT
SHALL NOT SUFFER ETERNAL FIRE.”

- promise of Our Lady to St. Simon Stock on July 16, 1251

........

It's a lie.

It will burn.

The one who trusts it will burn.

By some chance are you wearing this false thing??

Let's start the list with you, Daniel, for denying the Blessed Mother's perpetual virginity. After 446 posts, the article is proving true.

The only thing being proven true is that you charge those who obey Scripture, which warns not to think of mortals above that which is written, (1 Co. 4:6) and thus esteem (as I do) blessed.holy, pious Spirit-filled faithful Mary, with being haters of Mary, having nothing but contempt and indifference for our Blessed Lady, but condemn making her into an heavenly object of such adoration and ascriptions of power, titles and glory that is nowhere given to any created being in Scripture, and only to God.

Thus it is you who show contempt for those who seek to think of mortals according to what is written, and how the NT church manifestly did,

Thus all you really have is spitwads.

Me too bro. I believe Mary had other children. Maybe that fits your definition of a heretic. So be it. I am not that concerned about it. Not only that, but I have COMPLETE, TOTAL assurance of salvation. I also said it before, I couldn’t care less what anyone thinks about it

You know why they call us heretics??? For the same reason the same group called the apostle Paul a heretic...

Act_24:14  But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:

They call us heretics because we worship God according to the guidelines in scripture and that we believe all things in the scriptures...

The fool laughs when he is ignorant. Why would The Word of God tell YOU that God did not leave the body of Jesus to be rotted in the grave? You are so logic challenged that I will have to answer that for you! The body Jesus took to the Cross was corruptible, that’s why YOU are told the God would not leave that body in the grave to rot.

And that's what the article is about: heretics. Thanks for proving it true.

Actually the article is exposing you, the popeless (living) RC, who is considered to be a schismatic by the only living magisterium that RCs have (if not, name the present valid living pope and living magisterium), and who charges those who reprove the excess ascriptions, appelations, exaltation, and adoration given to the Mary of Catholicism, and not in Scripture.

Tell you what, you email the sisters and ask them if they’re saying someone with mortal sin on them will get out of hell free by wearing the scapular.

The people being spoken to know better than to make the statement into some goofy legalistic heresy.

Saved from Fire

In May of 1957, a Carmelite priest in Germany published the unusual story of how the Scapular saved a home from fire. An entire row of homes had caught fire in Westboden, Germany. The pious inhabitants of a home in the middle of this row, seeing the fire, immediately fastened a Scapular to the main door of the house. Sparks flew over it and around it, but the house remained unharmed. Within 5 hours, 22 homes had been reduced to ashes. The one structure which stood undamaged amidst the destruction was that which had the Scapular attached to its door. The hundreds of people who came to see the place Our Lady had saved are eyewitnesses to the power of the Scapular and the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

A heretic calling a Catholic a schismatic doesn’t mean squat.

You are mistaken. I belong to the Catholic Church, the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.

Who then is your last validly elected pope? Or is this the church of Catholic Crickets?

Besides that Dan, praying to the dead is necromancy. The thing is though, how do Catholics know that the so called “saints in Heaven,” are actually in Heaven. Many of these people may be in Hell. I don’t think anyone Hell, is going to be much interested in petitioning God on their behalf. Those “saints” in Hell, will be too caught up in their own agony, where the pain goes to infinity, to care about anything going on in the earth. 👎 Weeping and gnashing of teeth.

This presumes the scapular kept the home from burning.

It is an assumption with no proof.

But let's stay open-minded here.

Let's test that assumption.

Throw yours on the grill for an hour and post pictures, ebb...

Every single wearer, who was trusting the scapular to save them from eternal flames.

Are you wearing one of these idols??

To be authentic, the thing would have to do this 'great sign' on all occasions of fire ... unless the source of the 'great sign' is not God but someone who likes to fool Catholics.

It is written Satan comes with all signs and lying wonders. Don't take the mark when commanded to you, regardless of what 'great signs' and lying wonders accompany the command. DON'T TAKE THE MARK, ebb.

By that you mean they had already rebelled with Lucifer and began taking human women as ‘wives’ - in great violation on divine laws?

More non-biblical assertions?

Don’t have to. They e already published what the apparition said. They offered no qualifications to the claim.
